Status

Tech Stack

You can view additional details on this page

The primary goal of streamsnip is to streamline the clipping process, addressing challenges faced by one of my favorite streamers. Here's how you can make the most of it:

Monetization

This program is a free for everyone as of now. But you can contribute.

Most of the donations goes back to development and hosting costing.

Nightbot Command:

!addcom !clip $(urlfetch https://streamsnip.com/clip/$(chatid)/$(querystring)?delay=-40)

Just adding this command will get you started. but if you want to have a discord message. or customization then read below.
this is the most famous way of using it. Simply copy paste this in your chat.

Nightbot panel way

Go to Nightbot Dashboard and add command like this

If you want to send a discord message. then I would need to add a webhook URL alongside the youtube channel ID. for that fill this form or contact me here.

Contact	Discord

Optional Arguments:

This is one way to add arguments. if you want a simpler way head over at https://streamsnip.com/settings page.

This override the default settings. so if you have multiple instance of command and you don't want a particular instance to follow the /settings. you use this.

• showlink (default: true) - Display the link where all clips can be viewed.
• screenshot (default: false) - Enable or disable screenshot capture. If enabled the nightbot may not get response in given time and will say "Timed out" message. but it will still clip.
• delay (default: 0) - Introduce an artificial delay to the command. Useful for scheduling links in the future or past.
• force_desc (default: false) - if set to true will deny any clip that doesn't have a title (description as its called in backend). please ensure that your viewers know this is the case. else you will miss out on a lot of clips
  
• silent (default: 2||Highest) - Level of the clipping message. see example below.
  
• private (default: false) - If set to true. the clips made are not shown on the web nor impact stats. if you don't want your channel to show up on website. you use it. This override silent and returns just ​​clipped 😉
  
• webhook (default: None) - You can provide your own webhook URL instead of the one provided earlier (if you did). By combining this with private, you can create completely anonymous clips in a private channel.

To use your webhook URL, it should be in the format of webhook_id/webhook_token. For example, if your webhook URL is:

https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1211440693168447599/ieU15QcFI_PcAun88TFGpUuRMK6E7Me14jioxB1mbJrRU6ay3XI8jByeEk3XKlVKr8_s

You would pass webhook=1211440693168447599/ieU15QcFI_PcAun88TFGpUuRMK6E7Me14jioxB1mbJrRU6ay3XI8jByeEk3XKlVKr8_s as the argument.

• message_level (default: 0) - Customize how the discord message should look like. to support "anonymity"

• take_delays (default: false) - Do you consider your viewers to be smarter than average person ? if you turn this on. the first and last word will be evaluted to add/subtract delay. The following screenshot was taken with delay=0. but it still gave a delay of 20 seconds as the author wrote -20 as first word.
  Remember. this doesn't Override the delay parameter. it only add the delay. so if you had -40 in delay arg. then delay in the below example would be -60. and not -40.

  

Here's one example using all of it.

❌THIS IS PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO TYPE IN YOUR CHAT. ITS TOO BIG. use the one above.❌

Super Advanced, Proceed with caution here

Click me to open advanced options.

Idea from here, You can combine !search command to give out timestamp to particular events in the stream
A combo can look like this

!addcom !clipkill $(urlfetch https://streamsnip.com/clip/$(chatid)/kill-automated)
!addcom !lastkill $(urlfetch https://streamsnip.com/search/kill-automated)

Want more advanced ? here
There is one more endpoint named /searchx/<clip-desc> that returns JSON of the clip with that clip-desc.
THIS IS JUST 1 EXAMPLE. SKY IS THE LIMIT HERE

!addcom !lastkilltime $(eval clip=$(urlfetch json https://streamsnip.com/searchx/kill-automated); clip['hms'])

returning data looks something like this

8. !streaminfo this gives streaminfo in JSON format that you can use to do some other stuff. data looks something like this.

   Route is at /stream_info

   !addcom !myid $(eval info=$(urlfetch json https://streamsnip.com/stream_info); info['author_id'])

Self Hosting

I made it quite easy to host yourself. if you prefer that way.

Installation

1. Clone the repo
2. Install requirements - pip install -r requirements.txt
3. (Optional) Install ffmpeg and ytdlp for screenshot to work.
4. CONFIG - edit config.sample.json to config.json and insert few keys in it. password to use at /admin page and /add route.

Running

1. Run by doing. python main.py
2. (Optional) You can run. helper/maintainer.py. for this you will need management_webhook in config.json to send you backup and logs to your discord.
3. For nightbot. you need to replace streamsnip.com to your ip. and use http instead of https.

Additional Customization:

1. You can use -ul=userlevel to limit clipping to specific user levels (e.g., mods). Find user levels here to reduce spam and grant clipping access to specific individuals.
   

2. You can add a timer from here. to remind users to clip moments regularly
   Ex.
